The whole thing is so annoying - you're not on the front porch of your own house on your own private residential plot of land set back from the sidewalk dude. You live in a shared community space, and it's illegal to drink your Sierra Nevada on the stoop - deal with it, pay your $25 fine and move on.

But that's not even really the thing pissing BoogieDowner off...

According to the Daily News, he has a trial set for December 11th and is looking for pro bono legal representation. According to the Times piece, Mr. VanRy is "an international sales manager for a supplier of stock film footage, video and music." This professional background, coupled with the fact that Mr. VanRy owns a co-op, leads me to believe he could probably pay for his own legal representation for this stupid, self-serving court battle. If you're not willing to fund your own battle, don't start the fight.
